Better Boat: High Standards

A lot of boatbuilders in this class pride themselves on being highly customizable. That’s all well and good, but what it often means is that everything on the boat: every light, every seat, every electronic accoutrement, is an option. That’s why it’s refreshing to see a boat like the 255 come with such a brawny package of standard features. The freshwater system, raw-water washdown system, recirculating livewell, head compartment, fore and aft spreader lights, hardtop, onboard courtesy lights, and anchor windlass all come standard. And these days there’s nothing standard about that.
